Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I help clients work through complex trauma and PTSD resulting from childhood and adult attachment/relational trauma. These experiences leave us trapped in cycles that unintentionally reenact our traumatic relationships, deepening our internal wounds. You will be able to process your traumas and learn to trust your internal world again. My clients are able to reconnect with themselves and gain the felt sense of safety they've been missing, allowing them to navigate the world with confidence and security.

Growth Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
As Bessel Van Der Kolk says "The Body Keeps the Score". This statement refers to the now scientifically proven notion that trauma is not just the "bad things" that happen to us, but what happens in our bodies as well. Trauma is the lump in our throats, the heaviness in our chests, the anxiety in our stomachs, and tension in our muscles. In order to help heal from trauma and PTSD, we need to connect to our bodies and bring the body into the therapeutic experience. I am certified in EMDR which is proven to help process and heal past trauma of all kinds, including "shock trauma" (war, natural disasters, car accidents) and "relational/developmental trauma" (emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse).

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Trauma leaves its mark in the body as much as the mind—through hypervigilance, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, or difficulty trusting others. I provide a deeply trauma-informed space where your system’s protective strategies are honored, not pathologized. Using EMDR, IFS, and other evidence-based approaches, we gently process painful memories, strengthen internal safety, and build resilience in your nervous system. Together, we create a path toward integration, empowerment, and a life no longer defined by what happened to you.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Trauma doesn't just live in memory — it lives in the body, in automatic reactions, and in the subconscious beliefs formed in its wake. At Restored, we specialize in EMDR and attachment-based trauma therapy to address these deeper layers, helping clients process what happened in a way that genuinely shifts how they feel and respond — not just how they think. Our therapists bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to trauma work, and our intensive formats offer accelerated options for those ready to go deeper.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD utilizing safe, integrative and trauma informed approaches. I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective method for treating complex and deeply rooted trauma to alleviate symptoms and remove the impact of triggers that may be affecting your daily life. EMDR seeks to use our brain's natural healing ability to alter the unhealthy internal narratives that became a part of our story when the trauma occurred. For this reason, EMDR is my preferred method for addressing trauma of almost any kind. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a technique that allows me to quickly provide patients with some relief from their symptoms through guiding them through their internal process in a creative way to encourage desensitization to triggers and alleviation of difficult symptoms.

Mesa is one of the largest suburbs in the United States and part of the greater Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and the therapy landscape — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to anxiety, relationship issues, and family dynamics. The city's car-dependent suburban sprawl and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness and the challenges of building genuine community in a dispersed environment. Banner Desert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Mesa residents also access care through the broader Phoenix-metro therapy ecosystem. The city's large Latino and Mormon populations both drive demand for culturally specific therapeutic approaches.
